My 2021 Book Reading List
Personal development is a lifelong process. In the pursuit of becoming the best version of ourselves, we need to recognize that it’s okay to be a work-in-progress and a masterpiece simultaneously.
Books are powerful resources that enable us to learn from each other and constantly grow.
I’ve been working on OpportuniMe, a platform that is focused on personal development, career development, and mental + financial wellness. I am also a full-time college student and young professional. Making time to read books outside of my academic curriculum can be challenging.
One of my goals for the new year is to try and create time for reading books of my choice and through recommendations from dear friends and mentors. So here’s a challenge to myself: read one book per month. Write and share reflections and what I’ve learned, including action steps to put what I’m learning into practice. The books on my list are on the topics of personal development, stock investing, real estate investing, starting out a career, business and entrepreneurship, minimalism, relationships, and self love.
With that said, my 2021 reading list picks are:

Currently, I am reading Self-Love Workbook for Women by Megan Logan and it has been a game-changer for me. Stay tuned for a blog post on it! Comment book recommendations below.
